Why so deceitful?

Every one has that little goodness in them until you see it unleashed one fine day. The difference: When you don’t expect much, you are shocked. When you do expect, you are even more shocked.

Funny how people like to think they’ve not lost that good within them although they don’t do much of it to benefit others.

Also funny how many people specialize in manipulating others’ goodness and making it good for their own purpose. Take the case in point of the increasing fleet of beggars in Karachi city. You get to see one or more on almost every signal now. The bad part is that most of them are notoriously undeserving. They just stand there to manipulate that goodness within people. The thing about this is that once a fake is uncovered, the people who helped him/her would start feeling guilty about their own goodness.

End result is to everyone’s detriment: the reduction and/or elimination of that good from society.

The regulators need to take a strong, bold attempt to curb beggary from the city. It’s not the poor, the disabled, or the deserving. It’s the mafia!
